' PROGRAMME OF REPUBLICANS fmcut mt Thc’i Plan IM lbtraula| the KneuM A New York newspaper ,has been quizzing eminent republicans,of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio ami Iowa concerning what they purpose doing in the event that their control of the house and the senate already won shall be followed by their capture of the presidency. It asks if in sueh event they will reestablish Me Kin ley ism or by refraining from interference with the existing tariff make tacit confession of the disiugeuuousness of their attacks on democratic legislation. It is to be noted that the states covered by this symposium are those in which “presidential ijossibilities” abide. Generally speaking, the response of the republicans to whom the query was put was that there would be no recurrence to McKinley ism. In the main they applied to the question of tariff taxation that same skill in ntartialing meaningless phrases and statements so complicated by qualifying clauses as to convey no exact idea which republicans have for ^ears successfully employed to befog the minds of the people concerning that party's attitude on the money question. Vet, saving Mc^ Kinley himself and a devoted adherent^ who manufactures glass down iu 1‘ittV burgh, the general tenor of republicans opinion apj>ears to be that the McKaus, ley bill shall forever stand as the high tide of protectionism and that whatever legislation republicans may now urge will not rise much above the lowwater mark. As for any suggestion that needed revenue may i>e raised by addition to the list of objects of internal revenue taxation or by the increase ftt the tax o r beer it is not to be found in th,is republican sympOsiumA/Nor does there come any declaration of a purpose to reduce national expenditures. As before, republicans will put their main reliance upon the foreign trade of the country to furnish revenue and protective plunder. Less from what the republicans now say than from the juist history of their* party may be drawn a fair forecast of their policy when, if ever, they shall again control all three branches of the national government. They will not go before the people with u promise ora

threat of reimposing the extortionate duties which made the McKinley bill a miracle of special legislation, but will talk fair ami softly of moderate tariff increase—of a tariff just large enough to furnish revenue, but so imposed as at •the same time to e'ncourage American industries and enable the American laborer to earn better wages. Then, being installed in power, they would send out invitations, not to the people who pay the taxes, but to the few who profit by them, to come to Washington and lend their advice in the formulation of a new tariff bill. The march of the mil- ^ lionaires ui»ou Washington—the very antithesis of Coxey’s commonweal army —would begin. The country would be once again treated*to the spectacle of the consolidated pottery makers pledging their congressmen to vote for a ten j>er cent, advance on wood pulp in exchange for the kindly aid of the wood pulp men’s sodality in securiuga 15 per cent, advance in the schedule relating to pottery. It is m this way that tariff bills are made, and it is for this reason that seldom can one be made without transcending in some places the just and proper limit of taxation. Accepting the protection principle, moderation is practically impossible. Democrats themselves recall with mortification how far in some few sections the tariff bill enacted by their own party, though in the main moderate and in all parts an improvement u[k>u republican tariff - legislation, exceeded in the burden of taxation imposed legitimate bounds.

It will be the part of republicans in the coming presidential campaign to deceive the people with fair promises of moderate tariff revision. The reciprocity humbug will be trotted out and ail the platitudes by which shrewd and conscienceless politicians throw a‘veil of rhetoric about their true purposes will be employed. If the people permit themselves to be hoodwinked they will find Very speedily “after republican accession to complete power a new tariff law in effect by the side of which, in all probability, McKinley’s celebrated measure would seem moderate and just. —Chicago Chronicle. POINTS AND OPINIONS. -Senator. Allison says that he will Hot scramble after the presidential nomination. If he can show the other fellows how to get it without scrambling he will have plenty of dignified company.—Harrisburg Patriot. -Wages have recently been raised in more than GO woolen factories. The alleged depression in wool manufacturing exists only in the superheated imaginations of the McKinley calamity howlers.—Seymour (lnd.) Democrat. ——The protectionist press unanimously disapprove of Ambassador Bayard's Edinburgh speech. But the ambassador is applauded by the 5,500,000 who cast their votes for Grover Cleveland in 1S92.—Utica (N. Y.) Observer. -The alliance of Morinouism and 1 republicanism in Utah does not appear to draw any plaudits from our republican contemporaries. They ought to be dilating on this evidence of the attachment of the republican party for religion of any kind. — Indianapolis Sentinel. ——The Texas wool growers are adopting strong resolutions in favor of a protective tariff on wool, and the president of the association at its last annual meeting devoted most of his speech to a plea for a high protective tariff. These people are hunting for eggs in last year’s nest. They are trying to thresh wheat out of old straw. They are arguing their case on the curbstone after it has been decided by the court of last resort. They may as well conclude at once that the people will no more be taxed for their benefit, and instead of discussing the tariff begin to talk and think about making their living by work and not by law.—Memphis Commercial-Appeal.

ONE EFFECT OF Tffe ELECTIONS* Th»- Protection MonopolUt* Will D*i* Another Pall. Since the political landslide of the 5th Inst, there is a notable increase of courage among the organs of monoTXjly, which is manifested ina demand for a revision of the tariff in their interest. The 54th congress was elected under n distinct pledge that if the republicans got a majority they would put an end to tariff agitation, at least until after the next presidential election. Practically their whole campaign utterances were pitched on this key, and there is no room for intelligent doubt that the hard times, reenforced by this promise, gave them the house by the great majority which they secured. Other issues had their influence here and there, but the depression of business and the promise to let the tariff alone were sufficient of themselves. The last-elections before the meeting of congress are now over, and there is no longer any reason for disguise. So the pretense of keeping faith with the people is no longer needed by those who desire to increase protective taxes at the coming session of congress. There are those, to be sure, who oppose it on the ground that it may affect the elec'“ftons of next November, but many are unmoved by this consideration because they believe the great majorities of last week cannot be overcome in one year. £hey feel that the republican-party has got the country safe in its grip, and can enter upon a career of audacity with impunity.

With many, indeed, there is a pretense that more revenue is needed, and that for that reason higher duties must be irn{>osed. This is a subterfuge. It is a false pretense. The McKinley bill was avowedly framed to reduce the revenue, by putting duties so high as to check in:portat ions. If the McKinley ites lie allowed to have their wav at the coming session, they will do the same thing and raise the duties on the classes of goods manufactured by their favorites. This will so reduce importations as to derive less rather than more revenue from the articles to which they propose to give higher protection. If they increase the revenue at ail it must be by revenue duties or by internal taxes. This may as well bp done without putting up the rates Oft protected articles. The latter course will tend t* reduce the revenue, ami will compel the president to veto the bill. There is no necessity for any changt in the tariff at all in order to obtain sufficient revenue. The statement that the new tariff bill is a deficit producer is a falsehood. The deficit, if there l>j any, was produced by the decision of the United States supreme court, reversing the precedents of a hundred years, upon which the last congress relied as conclusive proof that an income tax was constitutional. The final decision in the case was due to a Pennsylvania republican’s reversing his ow* opinion after an interval of a few weeks. Tb^ democratic party is in no sense responsible for the deficit. It is still an open question whethei the present revenue laws will not produce revenue enough in the next fiscal year if appropriations be kept down t a reasonable figure. But even assuming that the supreme court has produced a permanent deficit, it can easily be got rid Of in either of two ways: By an increase in revenue duties or by new or increased internal taxes. It cannot be done by increasing protective duties so as to stop importations. If, therefore, the republicans really desire to keep their pledge to stop tariff agitation, they can easily do so by imposing taxes that will go into the treasury, and not by diverting a part of our present revenue into the pockets of the robber barons.—Louisville Courier-Journal. THE DEMOCRATIC PROSPECT.

The Party Will Re Hetter for the Defeat of lloK»Wnu Democracy 1ms shown itself courtgeous enough this year to reprove its own leaders who have "one wrong. In Kentucky it has refused to elec* a silver-craze candidate, even on a sound money platform. - t In Ohio it has aided in the condemnation of Briceism by 200,000 majority. It , has refused to sanction carpet-bag representation in the senate by a man who professes democracy but opposes its administration, its measures and its principles. In Maryland democracy has repudiated Gorman because Gorman repi'esents antagonism to all that true democracy stands for. In New Jersey the democrats have refused to elect even the best of candidates because they desired to rebuke their own party management for its late affiliation with gamblers and thieves. In New York the democrats have for the third time stayed away from the polls in order to emphasize their demand that the brains and the integrity of the party shall be called again into it3 councils. All this is not a bad preparation for next year if the lessons taught are heeded. On a square issue between the parties and what they represent, and with genuine democratic control *n democratic councils, • Maryland, New York. New Jersey and Kentucky should be securely democratic states, and even Ohio should be debatable territory. Two powerful forces will work for democracy during the year. A congress republican in both branches must either confess itself incapable of legislating or it must legislate upon lines that the people have twice repudiated with emphasis. A New York legislature, overwhelmingly republican in both houses, can hardly fail so to offend the publie sentiment of a democratic state as to bring to the polls next year the 155,000 democrats who refused to vote at the elections. Next year’s election will not be decided till next year comes.—N. Y. World. -The noise made by republican Ehouters is out of all proportion to the number of states that they earned at the recent election. — Chicago Chronicle.

FARM AND GARDEN, BUILDING A CREAMERY. A Few SujiccKtluus Concerning Arrangement of the Machinery. Since the creamery question is being agitated perhaps a few pointers on the building and the arrangement of the machinery may not be amiss. The first more should be to find a suitable location. At first thought this might seem to be an easy matter. The site is very important, however. H should have pure air and sunshine— nature's best and cheapest disinfectants —and be free from any surroundings that would be likely to taint the atmosphere. Put it far«enough from stables* shops, and from the railroad, that the soot may not be a nuisance. Good, pure water is indispensable,just ns necessary as pure air. No. one can make good butter without it. Few peo- ! pie are careful enough about the source j of their water supply. With the surrounding surface saturated with impurities, it cannot be otherwise than that a part of it finds its way into the well, unless the greatest precaution is ■- -" .

used to present it. The building should j be Undated high enough to insure per- ; feet drainage. The drain should ye | carried several hundred feet under | ground from the factory, before it is ' allowed to come to the surface. No j drain is complete without a “trap.” The plant should bo as centrally lo- j | cated as possible, but not too far from : the shipping station, if the product is j to be shipped. The best site is at a side* ! hill, so that the weigh room can be at i the east side if possible. It will then he sheltered from the cold winds in winter, i The driveway should be gradeii high enough to allow the milk to flow from the weigh ean into the receiving vat. if the vat can be placed above the level of the separator it will avoid the pumping ef the milk. The more convenient everything is arranged the fewer persons will be required to operate it and the less the expense will be. If I were building a creamery ^.for myself I would build the | ehurnroom in a sub-basement, making j the excavation about 6 feet deep, which, with an S-foot wall, would permit the use of plenty of windows for light and ventilation. The idea would be to secure as even a temperature as possible the year round. It is very necessary to have a cool room in which to churn and work butter in hot weather. It is a very ditticult matter to make good butter in a room where the temperature rises to SO or 90 degrees. In the diagram W is the scales and weigh ean, on an elevated platform, from which the milk runs through a conductor into the receiving vat, R V, and from the vat into the separator S. From the separator the cream can be conducted into the cream vat, C- V. Ch is the churn and B W the butter worker. B is the boiler, which should be Vi or more larger than necessary to supply the engine (E) on account of the extra steam needed. F is a coal bin and O an office. An icehouse and a cold storage room can be attached at the north end (N) if needed. The steam and water guage should be so placed on the boiler as to be in sight of the operator, through the open floor, while running the operator. The ! roof on the building should be fireproof, ; to lessen the risk; the insurance will j be less also. Any competent earpen*

• ter can construct tne ouuuing ana lit the interior. It is entirely unnecessary j to employ a regular creamery eon- ; tiactor, ami perhaps pay double price ; or more. Better employ a competent, j disinterested man who understands : creamery work tosuperintend the build- , mg. The cost will be.less and the j work more satisfactory. Sometimes : secondhand machinery that has been used but little can be bought very low, i compared to new; as the machinery is ! the greatest expense, it would reduce ! the cost of the plant very much.—O. J. Vine, in Ohio Farmer. A $ug£V8tlou for l><\lrymea. Handling whey and buttermilk is a problem at butter and cheese factories, i At the Lawrence factory for making j fancy cheese, a pipe is laid from the factory to the top of a hill, ubout 50 feet higher than the factory and 2,600 feet away. On the summit are commodious and • well constructed hog pens, with rooms I for the attendants. The pens are comfortably arranged and easily kept J I clean, and in winter are warmed by I steam heat. To this place all the whey j | and buttermilk is forced by a steam ’ | pump, and a main from the village j ! waterworks furnishes unlimited sup- j I plies of pure, fresh w ater for drinking, j j washing, etc. The hogs are bred on the ! | place; two crops of 300 hogs each are raised and marketed annually. ' Ice House on » Small Scale. If the farmer should have any of the i luxuries which are possible to those j who live in cities, there is nothing that ; will insure them so cheaply as a good j ice house. A suitable building for hold- i ing ice may be built wholly above ground, or partly below and partly above, but in either case it should have good drainage, and tight roofing, and ample arrangement for ventilation. There should be a space of from 18 to 24 inches between the walls and the cubes of ice. This space is best filled with sawdust, or, in the absence of thir, with fresh leaves or chopped straw. The opening should be on the north side of the building, and it is best if the building is not exposed to the sun or winds. —Frairie Farmer. 1

The Uses of Slag.—There is an excellent use found for slag, that troublesome material that was for such a long time an incubus that nobod)* could get rid of or turn to account. Finally it was worked up into paint and pavements, and now slag bricks are coming into favor. They are used for building chimneys, and are about half the weight of bricks of the same size. A specially prepared cement is necessary, as there must be perfect incorporation without strengthening bands or chains. If this experiment stands the test of time, it will be of great interest to scientists, and will open new industries, as well as furnish a means of using an article that has hitherto been of little value. , ---7— -1 Trollet Motorman (to Conductor)'— “Saw Sill, the old gent behind has just fell off.’’ Conductor—“That's all right.

Grace before Meat There’s a difference between being full of thanksgiving, and being full of Thanksgiving dainties. But the one thing generally leads to the other. How can it be helped when the turkey is so good, and the pie so enticing? Here’s a helpful hint. For that full feeling after Thanksgiving — take a pill. Not any pill, mind you. There are pills that won’t help you. Take the pill that will. It’s known as Ayer’s Pill — and it’s perfect. It is sugar-coated, pleasant to the palate, and its operation, like that of nature, is effective and without violence. Keep this in your mind if you want to enjoy the holiday season: Grace before meat, but a Pill after Pie.
